cash is King

5.5% from country wide bank out of a 6 month CD....

it's interesting that they would adverstise for it on CNBC, as most watchers think there is a 25% chance they become illiquid.(hmmm is that a good way to put it?)

  1. If its a FDIC insured CD, then it wont matter if they go belly up!

  2. Yes, you're correct. Honestly I'm not a big Bond/CD guy.. and barely understand what a coupon is, and apparently there is some kind of inflation adjustment on some treasuries/bonds, that I don't yet understand.

    I probably should do some research.

    Thank you, for visiting Barry.

    I'm honored, that you're visiting the rambling rantings of my mind/ AKA my blog.

    I've intended to congratulate you on your bottom call, that I flipped you some crap about. Hopefully, you realize how well intentioned I am.

    And thank you, as always for your blog.
